Until Benteke leaves Liverpool (or they announce he is staying) none of us know what will happen. We can all speculate its a dead deal or its still alive but patience is the only thing any of us can use right now.

Yeah but not caring where you play is very different from being adamantly opposed to playing somewhere. Betting 30 million pounds on anyone is risky especially for us...I'd rather sign two strikers in the 10-15 million range who are interested in playing here. I couldn't agree more. Benetke is never worth £30 mil anyway in my opinion

So what could we get with the latter? Conor Wickham was in that bracket. Why? Because he played most of his Sunderland days on the left. Then when we got him he spent more time injured than available. Any other players might get 8 Prem goals or will not be proven in this league. If we can afford the wages and the issues it may cause, we should buy. It is the wages that are a concern, not the transfer fee. He's 25 and is an asset that will always hold some value.

Benteke cost Liverpool £32.5m for a 5 year contract which equates to £6.5m per year. He has been with Liverpool for a year so his book value is now £26m. The longer he sits on the bench the lower his value will fall. I would guess that our opening bid of £27m was roughly based on his book value.

The costs associated with the acquisition of players' registrations are capitalised as intangible fixed assets in the club's balance sheet. The cost is then fully amortised (reduced) in equal annual instalments over the period of the player's contract because the player can walk away from the club on a free at the end of the contract in accordance with the Bosman ruling. Benteke cost Liverpool £32.5m for a 5 year contract which equates to £6.5m per year. He has been with Liverpool for a year so his book value is now £26m.

But of course book value is only for Financial Accounting. Fair market value is the real test surely? OK, you can sell at book value without making an accounting loss, even if it's a lower price than you originally paid. It may make it less painful to take a haircut but no club will sell for less than the true market value of the individual unless they are in real trouble.
